This variety of Kornerupine became available a decade ago with very little production since. This brilliant little gem showcases the dynamic pleocroism of the material - a soft blue-green is one direction and a fantastic lilac shade in the other. Both of these colors are visible face-up and make for a fantastic gem in a rarely seen size. These have always been scarce sizes above 1/2 ct and we have had precious few this close to 1 carat.
